Migrate Postgres 9.2.18 Confluence database to SQL Server 2016

IT_nyc

Hi,

I want to migrate my Confluence database from Postgres 9.2.18 to SQL Server 2016, however on your supported platform page it shows only Microsoft:

SQL Server 2012
SQL Server 2014

Could you please let me know if there is any plan in near future to support SQL Server 2016.

Or Do you think I can still upgrade to 2016 and remained covered for Atlassian support?

Regards, Ajay Prakash(+44-7889670565)

Current setup:

View System Information - Confluence Database Information

Confluence Version	6.3.3
Build Number	7202

Database name	PostgreSQL
Database version	9.2.18
Database Dialect	com.atlassian.confluence.impl.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
Database Driver Name	org.postgresql.Driver
Database Driver Version	42.1.1
Database Connection URL	jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/confluence
Database Connection Transaction Isolation	Read committed
Database Latency	0

@IT_nyc, not sure about Atlassian's official stance on this but I think it will work. I believe we were running 2016 at my last place. Anyway, try it in a dev environment and see.

As far as support ramifications, I would send a support request directly into Atlassian. I know they watch the Community but a direct issue will be faster.

On the Supported Platforms page:

You should only use Confluence with a supported platform. Any platforms and versions not listed on this page are unsupported, which means we don't test, fix bugs or provide assistance.

Since we don't test with SQL Server 2016, we cannot predict the way Confluence will behave with it. For a Production environment it is safer to use a supported platform.

@Peter DeWiit Ajay seems to have a starter license so he is contacting support by posting here.

Thanks @AnnWorley

Thanks @Peter DeWitt.

My gut feeling is that, Yes, it would work seamlessly, 1% I never know if something behaves funny.

Eventually this system will be used as PROD and there is no Dev system at the moment.

@AnnWorley: Is there any planned date to include SQL Server 2016 in supported platform list?

Thanks @AnnWorley.

For anyone else reading this post. I have checked with a colleague of mine and he is also running SQL 2016 as the DB for all of his Atlassian apps so it does work even if it's not officially supported.
